Trixie Mattel Wears Tamagotchi Ring on RuPaul’s Secret Celebrity Drag Race Premiere!

Trixie Mattel a famous American drag queen, singer-songwriter, comedian and television personality made an appearance on the season premiere of RuPaul’s Secret Celebrity Drag Race that aired Friday, April 24th. Much to our surprise, queen Trixie was rocking her Tamagotchi Ring! You may recall we previously reported on this ring back in June of 2019 at the MTV Movie Awards show. Trixie was actually gifted the rhinestone encrusted yellow Tamagotchi Mini from a fan at the 2018 Dragcon in Manhattan New York. We are so excited to see that she is still rocking the accessory to this day!

Now Trixie is too busy to run this Tamagotchi, so she has kept in the paper tab meaning that the Tamagotchi is not running. Trixie frequently wears the Tamagotchi run when it matches her outfit and it looked so good on her for the premiere!

You can catch the ring as she prepares a constants makeup for the upcoming competition, and of course you can see her with her ring front and center and the guest judges table. This is a trend that we can get behind, anyone else thinking about making a rhinestone encrusted Tamagotchi Mini ring? You can catch the full episode here on VH1.

FASHION! Trixie Mattel, a famous American drag queen, singer-songwriter, comedian and television personality was presenting an award at the 2019 MTV Movie Awards for reality royalty along with Big Mouth’s Nick Kroll, and her ring is just everything.

As Trixie walked off the stage after presenting the award, you can catch a rather large ring on her finger, but it’s not actually a ring. Trixie is rocking a Tamagotchi ring covered in rhinestones that was gifted to her recently at the 2018 Dragcon in Manhattan New York by an adoring fan, Jayna Simpson. The rock, or Tamagotchi we should say, is a 2017 Tamagotchi Mini in that yellow/purple combo with adhesive rhinestones spread throughout the shell glued to a ring, what a great idea!

Trixie loved the ring so much that wore it to the 2019 MTV Movie Awards and definitely had the fans talking! Trixie Mattel is no stranger to Tamagotchi, you see that on her social media accounts!

Tamagotchi Lineup In United States

With the Tamagotchi On being released in late July many fans have been asking about the current Tamagotchi lineup in the United States. Will the Tamagotchi Original still be sold alongside the Tamagotchi On? Are the 2017 Tamagotchi Mini & Gudetama Tamagotchi still being manufactured? Well have no fear, we have the current Tamagotchi lineup straight from Bandai America, and you won’t be disappointed.

First and foremost, the Tamagotchi Original is very much still in production and as we informed you earlier this year the it’s a hit, and new retailers have been added! Bandai America confirms with us that new retailers have been added, and we will keep you updated as soon as we know which ones!

What about the 2017 Tamagotchi Mini? Originally released in 2017 the 2017 Tamagotchi Mini began the 20th anniversary of Tamagotchi in the United States. This device is no longer in production, and if you see them on shelves be sure to grab one, they won’t be around much longer.

So what about Gudetama Tamagotchi? Good question! The Gudetama Tamagotchi was originally announced in one sentence in a Bandai America press release back in 2018, and its a fan favorite since Gudetama is just adorable! The device is still very much in production and is part of the current lineup!

Tamagotchi On, well this is a given! The Tamagotchi On of course is part of the Tamagotchi lineup here in the United States, and will be the highest end Tamagotchi current on the market. Loaded with features that’ll keep you busy for a while, and a great app, the flagship device will definitely turn heads of former Tamagotchi users alike. The device is slated for a release of July 28th, 2019.

So that’s the current Tamagotchi lineup in the United States. We are so glad to see that Tamagotchi is very much present on retailer shelves and that the brand is definitely expanding in the United States. It’s also important to note that this is quite possibly the very first time that Bandai America has three Tamagotchi’s on the market simultaneously.

2019: What’s In Store For Tamagotchi?

It is not very common these days for Bandai to release a new device every year, and Bandai has just re-launched the Tamagotchi Original in late 2018, so whats in store for 2019? What would we like to see in the new year? We’ve got 9 months left, so let’s discuss.

The last all-new device that Bandai released outside of Japan was the Tamagotchi Friends device, and some parts got the successor, the Tamagotchi Friends Dream Town device. The Tamagotchi Friends device was released in late 2013 in Europe, and mid 2014 in the United States. The Tamagotchi Friends Dream Town device was released in early 2015 in select countries.

Following the release of the Tamagotchi Friends device was the re-release of the Tamagotchi Mini to kickoff the celebration of Tamagotchi’s 20th anniversary outside of Japan. This device featured original Tamagotchi shell designs, and the same programming as the 2006 models but with a new secret character, Bill!

After many different ‘waves’ or series’ of the Tamagotchi Mini, Bandai finally re-released the Tamagotchi Original to wrap up the 20th anniversary celebration outside of Japan. Finally fans are able to pick up the original model they fell in love with back in the late 90’s. The Tamagotchi Original is still available on the shelves of your favorite retailers, and is even being added to additional retailers for the year of 2019 due to increased interest and demand.

So what’s in store for 2019? Of course this article focuses on the countries outside of Japan, they were blessed with the fan favorite Tamagotchi Meets device and companion mobile application.

We do not think Bandai will make any big moves for the year of 2019 in terms of a new device. We would of course LOVE a color Tamagotchi device such as the Tamagotchi Meets be available outside of Japan, but that probably wont happen. We suspect that Bandai will continue manufacturing the Tamagotchi Original and Gudetama Tamagotchi devices for the remainder of the year.

We suspect that Bandai might bring the Eevee Tamagotchi outside of Japan, and fully translated. They definitely see the increased interest of this device and won’t want to miss an opportunity to sell a ton more. This would most likely happen around mid to late 2019.

This now brings us to 2020. It is very likely that we will see a new Tamagotchi outside of Japan for 2020! We would love nothing more than for Bandai to show off an all-new Tamagotchi at the New York Toy Fair for the year of 2020! This may not be a color Tamagotchi device, but if its as good, or better than the Tamagotchi Friends Dream Town - we are all about it!

So thats what we Bandai has in store for us this year, we cannot confirm any of this information with Bandai of course, but once we have official information you know we will keep you informed first! So what do you think Bandai has in store for us this year?
